9 Folded Map

The tattoo shown here is a perfect illustration of the map that is truly impressive. This illustration portrays the Marauder’s Map perfectly and any fan will recognize it right away.

8 Hedwig & The Golden Snitch

This tribute to the Marauder’s Map is one that has its own unique spin. This tattoo shows the famous saying, “Mischief Managed,” which is the perfect nod to the map.

The tattoo also shows an illustration of Harry Potter’s pet owl, Hedwig, as well as a small illustration of the Golden Snitch, which played a vital role in the series. This tattoo serves as a great homage to Harry Potter.

7 The Four Animagi

As most fans know, the creators of the Marauder’s Map were also Animagi. An Animagus is a witch or wizard who is able to turn into an animal, and James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew made themselves Animagi in order to turn into animals while their best friend, Remus Lupin, was phasing into a werewolf during a full moon.

This tattoo illustrates each of the animals they turn into and is an awesome work of art.

6 Sirius Black

This gorgeous tattoo is a wonderful tribute to one of the creators of the map, Sirius Black. The tattoo is a perfectly illustrated work of art, completed by La Barbe Tattoo. This tribute to Sirius and the Marauder’s Map shows the words, “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good,” which is the password required to open the map.

This quote is also illustrated with the footprints shown on the map, and a perfect portrayal of Sirius Black’s wand.

5 Each Animagus

This tribute to the Marauders is a subtle one that only true Harry Potter fans will see for what it really is. This tattoo shows illustrations of each of the four creators of the map’s animal forms.

Sirius Black turned himself into a black dog, aka, “Padfoot,” James Potter turned himself into a stag, aka “Prongs,” Peter Pettigrew turned himself into a rat, aka “Wormtail,” and Remus Lupin was already a werewolf, aka “Moony.” The illustrations in this tattoo are gorgeous!

4 The Footprints

The main feature of the Marauder’s Map was the ability to see where each and every person in the Hogwarts castle was at any given time. The map would show a ribbon with the person’s name and where they were located in the castle and would be accompanied by small footprints, shown in this tattoo if that person was walking around.

As fans will remember, Dumbledore was often seen with these footprints surrounding his name, as he paced around his office. This tattoo is a simple but cool tribute to the series.

3 The Outside Of The Map

The Marauder’s Map has a distinct look that is instantly recognizable. The exterior of the map has been perfectly illustrated in this tattoo, created by Jordan Baker.

2 Mischief Managed

Every fan of the Harry Potter series knows how iconic the words in this tattoo truly are. These words, “Mischief Managed,” were the key to getting the Marauder’s Map to close, indicating the user was finished and the map would go back to the illusion that it was just a regular piece of parchment.

This trick made the map so much more special and this tattoo portrays that perfectly. This simple nod to the series is one anyone will appreciate.

1 I Solemnly Swear

Any fan of the Harry Potter series will know what this tattoo is a tribute to, and these iconic words represent the Marauder’s Map fully.

The map is disguised to look like a blank piece of parchment, but when the words, “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good,” are spoken, the map presents itself. This tattoo is a great nod to the map and this magical series.
